People need to understand that there is a larger agenda afoot here. It would have been nice for team Obama for the Congress to agree, but in the end - the agenda must move forward even if he does it on his own.
There will be more of this.
Isn't that what dictator wanna-bee's do?

We're not fully NWO quite yet.
He is totally on board with doing what his masters want. If he doesn't the vacation is over, and he will have to buy his own Newports.
"they" refer to the transfers, not the guns. If a guerrilla organization has declared that its political intent is to shoot all members of a minority, wouldn't it be a good thing to have civilized nations agree not to arm that organization?
Does that include guns to US funded "rebels" who want to overthrow a standing government ?
If that's the case we're pretty guilty.
I quoted the article for you. You take as you want.
No. I never do that. I leave that to the credulous nincompoops. I check to see if I am being lied to or not.
You quoted the article. You said that the treaty demanded certain things. Are you now admitting that what you said is not true? That you actually have no idea what the treaty really says, but that you were instead pissing yourself over bull**** that you were fed?

I know for a fact that the real intent of this treaty is to reduce the international trafficking of weapons that results in the slaughter of innocent people.
The treaty has exactly nothing whatsoever to do with the 2nd Amendment.
We know that or some us us do anyway. Some sure want to make it look liike it is tied ti the 2nd amendment. WAYNE WILL BE OUT TELLING LIES ABOUT THIS LIKE HE DID LAST TIME.
That's the point though. Why bother signing it if you know it won't be ratified.
Is this some figurehead type of showing ?
Sign it but it really means nothing ?
This is Copenhagen all over again. He would have signed the treaty then, against the wishes of Congress, if it weren't for China blowing the hole thing sky high.
Because it's fairly customary within the realm of international law that unless you're fundamentally opposed to a treaty on policy reasons, like we were with the Convention on the Prohibition, Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction, you sign it to take it back for the home government to ratify or reject. Keep in mind that regardless of what the talking points on the treaty are, it fundamentally does nothing to ban legitimate private party sales within a country and only effects international sales/trade - as a matter of foreign policy we're generally opposed to the illicit transfer of arms and the sale of arms where it would lead to genocide, so of course it'd be signed so that it can be taken back to the Senate.
This is the part that is made up to scare more people. Did they make it up or did you?
The treaty seems unlikely to ever receive the two-thirds majority necessary to be ratified by the US Senate, but that doesn't mean it still won't have consequences for American
Does that include guns to US funded "rebels" who want to overthrow a standing government ?
Very possibly, yes.
